This assumes it was incompetence and not done intentionally. My understanding is neither company is owning this data set and there is an assumption that it is a third company that has either legally or illegally obtained the data and is usi

It's not necessarily WYSIWYG that is the problem. It's auto formatting markdowns in an editor. I've never seen this done well. You constantly end up fighting the formatting. You end up having to learn obscures combinations

I've got first hand experience in this as we are working on it right now. This problem is largely due to the closed and archaic nature of the GDS systems that are the source of truth. These systems have been running for 40+ years and

Again this goes down to usability vs features. Word has a lot of features and, for certain publishing needs, these are important. But what gsuite adds is usability. You no longer need shared drives. You no longer need to email docs around

I'm still pretty confused about what blackberry did well. It sounds like they had a workflow that people that liked it liked. Other than that, what specifically did it enable that the other phones didn't?

That is one issue, as the number of services needing a model increases, you end up repeating this. It also becomes more complex as your domain grows and the complexity / number of events increases. Finally it can introduce a high degr

Huh. So this is why cars parked on one side of a street (with no tree cover) will be covered in condensation, while those parked on the other side (which has tree cover) will not?

I love that this focuses on event modeling as opposed to CQRS / Event Sourcing specifically. Those patterns are useful (CQRS and ES), and they imply a certain design, but event modeling and domain driven design are what really tie sys

This is a long way from my expertise but I think that what you are referring to ('Chinese') is actually a large group of varying cultural and ethnic people that has seen a huge amount of change over millennia. I think this is sign

Thanks, I was wondering if there was a perspective thing going on. But also thinking that the larger the angle to the ecliptic, the less likely it was something that just happened to be in a very large orbit around our solar system. From th

1G would be great as it would remove any unexpected physiological impacts of living in zero or low gravity. Having said that, the distance and duration means that only a small portion of this journey would be under acceleration, the rest wo

It wouldn't need to be halfway. At 3gs acceleration, it would take about 115 days to accelerate up to the speed of light. You'd then travel ballistically for the majority of the journey before having to decelerate for another 115

This animation seems to imply it is traveling orthogonal to the ecliptic. Is that normal (maybe expected is a better word) for this kind of thing?

Our product managers user clubhouse constantly and love it. Club house has done a great job of organising information into stories, epics, milestones, projects. All task manager products have some variation on these components but I've

I think this economic argument is what is going to kill Australia's economy in about 6 - 10 years time. We are so dead set on maintaining our resource sector, in particular coal, that there seems to be no acknowledge that a crash is co

I've found that this isn't the experience. Most options I'm after are available in multiple apps. More to the point, all drivers seem to use multiple apps. I often get my food in bags from the wrong company. The barrier to sw

This may seem like dumb wordplay, but while management may seem to be about hiring / firing, budgets, etc, _leadership_ is about _influence_. Influence and leadership are force multipliers. If you can lead people well and influence dec

The brutal reality is that a single individual contributor cannot, and should not, contribute as much value as a team of people. I strongly believe in technical tracks and I've seen them work. Every place I've worked had technical

There is more to this than just economics. I worked as a delivery driver for a pizza place while at uni. I loved it, the driving was fun, but more than that I loved the shop. The kitchen and wait staff were great fun. We worked in the kitch

Aside from theoretic advice, one of the key things I've found euros best is _not_ to set out to build a big complex system. Solve small problems that deliver value in distributed way and then iterate and expand. Doing this focuses eng

In a way I understand these comments, but I think they are drawing a very black white line in a grey area. I trained as an electrical engineer (but I'm now %100 software), yes there was a lot about responsibility, safety etc, but to me

We would love to. Trust me, we really really would. But the is such huge amount of great mongering about corporate add mineral taxes that no major party will attack it. The Minerals Council of Australia is incredibly well funded and hugely

Interesting. A decade ago I observed something similar to the article while traveling in Nepal / Tibet. Me and friend both had iPods (of different generations) that got 'altitude sick'. At two points in the trip we got about

For me it is _guarantee_. I've tried so hard. I've practiced, tried mnemonics, but after a few weeks I'll need to spell it again, and it's gone.

I think this is the kind of pragmatism that is needed when taking about event sourcing. It is a _very_ advanced architectural pattern. There is no easy 'Event Sourcing made simple' way to use it. I think one of the reasons for thi

I work on a hotel OTA and this and similar situations consume a disproportionate amount of our dev time, and I believe it should. So much travel software relies on third parties and problems with eventual consistency (read timeouts) mean th

I think sometimes the spirit of these observations can be lost in the specifics. Maybe this doesn't confirm strictly to the philosophical definition, but as an analogy I find it succinct and useful. Many times I've fallen in the t

This site has been a life saver on so many trips through places like India and Africa, where the information available through official channels is often difficult to find out understand.
